This image wasn't a planned shot. I made it after having photographed around the Lake Gunn area. I was on my way out back out to Te Anau and happened to drive by this scene, in late evening, and the light looked just right. I quickly unpacked my gear, composed, focused and shot for 30 seconds.
For printing, I have previsualised a 1:1 crop, which will be centred around the main fern in the foreground, rather than the entire 3:2 scene. I don't know, both may work?
The light falling on the right-hand side of the tree trunks does it for me. It was such brilliant light. I've had to mask the background a little, as at 30 seconds, the sky and foliage in the rear, was exposed several stops greater than the rest of the scene.
Slightly higher resolution found
here.
Comments and critique, as always, most welcome.
